That's so sad to hear about Anicet Ekane
. He sounded like such an amazing person, fighting for what he believed in and using his voice to bring about change in Cameroon
. It's completely unacceptable that the government was denying him access to his medication and putting his life at risk during detention
. I'm so angry on his behalf!
But it sounds like there is an investigation underway, so fingers crossed that justice will be served soon
. The fact that he was never charged with a crime despite being detained for five weeks just highlights the bigger issue of human rights abuses in Cameroon
. I hope Akere Muna's words about Ekane inspiring more people to stand up against oppression and fight for democracy will live on
.
